Dow is partnering with communities in Latin America and Asia to convert waste into a resource
is partnering with communities in Latin America and Asia to convert waste into a resource – with training and education at the core of their philosophy.
In Latin America, where four million people rely on waste as a source of income, Dow has partnered with Boomera and Fundación Avina on “Recycling for change”. The project brings experts and leaders together to create scalable solutions that support the community, such as improving work conditions and developing a collaborative work model for separation cooperatives.
In its current form, the initiative has the potential to benefit hundreds of families along the waste management value chain. The final phase of the initiative will be to develop a working model based on all the information they have gathered that can be scaled and implemented across Latin America, says Zhang.is working with Indonesia, the world’s second largest plastic waste producer that disposes of 3.2 million tons of plastic waste per year. The initiative is helping communities create a closed loop waste management system that converts different kinds of waste into valuable products.
